Hi.
On the point of damaging binders, I wonder if anyone has had an issue
with the library regarding this? I have been extra careful not to
dammage the books I borrow or own, to the extent that I get dreadful
quality work with my scanner when scanning in some very large books.
However, I can get a reader.
However, I know of at least one other visually impaired person who
doesn't kare what happens to the books, just so long as she can get
them into the scanner and into a text format.
Has anyone else come accross this?
Also, another problem I have with books is that if I am presented with
a large book, what do I do with it? Do I scan it from cover to cover?
Do i just scan in the index? Where is the index in the book (at the
front or the back)? When scanning in the index, how to find the
relevant page? Etc.
One solution which I didn't mention here previously would be to
photocopy the book, then use a document feeder in the scanner to scan
in the photocopied pages quickly - this can give good results.
Andrew.
